Trooping the Colour, just wanted to take some pics of tourists at Changing the Guard and unexpectedly arrived in the middle of Trooping the Colour (the Queens official birthday). So was all a bit chaotic. Went to Traflagar Sq after to listen to a dj where they had impressively turned the entire Trafalgar Sq into a single sound stage. In the middle of all that at least 100 completely naked cyclists and roller bladers passed through the square causing chaos among the pigeons, before they went off down Whitehall... all very bizzare!

One of the best reasons to hand around is watching the smaller groups of returning troops without barriers, security and large crowds

Dispersing Crowd wanting more

Stuck this thread on the Skybar as I realised that there arent that many skylines on here!

Nice ones there.

Lovely pics there. I always watch the trooping of the colour. Did you see the flypast by any chance?
